Labor was once fighting for their rights with rifles and unprecedented multicultural unity. Workers knew their enemy very clearly and knew how to attain their goals. The alternative was starvation and corporate enslavement.
Now the concern is deleting tweets. Embourgeoisiement has slowed and confused the struggle of labor. The reckoning of the owner class is long overdue, as evidenced by this typical hubris.
In today's world, this reckoning must be at once international and complete. We have the infrastructure for liberation on a global scale.
- utrechtsouth 6y agoIt's ironic that these workers "liberation" movements have resulted in the worlds largest slave labor camps and poverty on a scale never seen in free market countries. Not to mention genocide on a scale surpassing the nazis.
- rusty-rust 6y agoPoverty is just another form of slavery. Using your line of hyperbole I could also say the same for any developed capitalist nation. Now more to your point. The worker movements in the developed west was not shy to use force. An example in England would be workers marching to a factory owners house demanding better working conditions or else they’d kill him. I believe similar events also happened in the US.
- tacitusarc 6y agoPoverty is not another form of slavery and claiming that downplays in the extreme what slavery actually was. That is absolute nonsense.

- complexmango 6y agoLove the wink-wink nudge-nudge hint towards violence typical of the radical left, the planet over. The US is full of refugees from places that fought for 'workers rights' with 'rifles and multicultural unity' and never recovered. Check out all of South America, and even India, former USSR, China, etc. Employment in the US is totally voluntary, with unemployment one of the lowest in the developed world, immense competition for tech talent, and you think this requires 'reckoning of the owner class' - which is often the SAME workers' 401k accounts? What exactly is your ideal - that 'workers', who are also 'owners', fight themselves?
